Why do women have repeated attacks of cervicitis? You should know the 6 major factors that cause cervicitis in women.

Infertility refers to the inability to get pregnant after cohabitation, normal sexual life, and no contraception for more than one year after marriage. It can be divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility according to whether or not there has been pregnancy after marriage. Primary infertility refers to the inability to get pregnant; secondary infertility refers to the inability to get pregnant once, and not getting pregnant again for more than one year without contraception. According to the cause of infertility, it can be divided into relative infertility and absolute infertility: relative infertility refers to temporary infertility caused by one of the couple's reasons that hinder conception or reduce fertility. If the factor is corrected, pregnancy is still possible.

Common reasons include the following:

The causes of female infertility can be summarized into two categories: congenital physiological defects and acquired pathological changes. Among them, most infertility patients are caused by acquired diseases.

1. Cervical erosion, adhesion, congenital abnormality, occlusion or stenosis, polyps, tumors, or the presence of antisperm antibodies in mucus.

2. Vaginal deformity, stenosis, hymen obstruction, etc.

3. Polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors, ovarian dysgenesis, premature ovarian failure, etc.

4. Fallopian tube obstruction, water accumulation, adhesion, excessive length or stenosis. Fallopian tube disease accounts for 25% of female infertility.

5. Endometriosis, anovulation or luteal insufficiency.

6. Disturbances in sexual life, lack of sexual knowledge, systemic diseases and unknown causes, etc., account for about 1/3 of the causes of infertility.

Why does cervicitis lead to infertility in women?

Cervical erosion can cause infertility. When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become thick in texture, and contain a large number of white blood cells. This will have an adverse effect on sperm motility, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affect conception.

The cervix is ​​located between the vagina and the uterus. It is an important protective barrier for the internal reproductive organs and an important part of reproductive physiology and reproductive endocrine function. Cervicitis is a common disease in women of childbearing age, which is divided into acute and chronic cervicitis. It is mostly caused by childbirth, abortion or surgery that damages the cervix and causes pathogens to invade and infect. In addition, it is also related to excessive sexual activity, physical or chemical stimulation, endometritis, and vaginitis. Chronic cervicitis is more common in clinical practice, and there are often no signs of acute inflammatory processes. Cervicitis is one of the causes of female infertility.

Beware of cervical lesions that are difficult to cure

There are always patients complaining that cervical inflammatory erosion has not been cured after multiple treatments, or it recurs after being cured, which makes them very distressed. So, what exactly causes the recurrence of cervical inflammatory erosion?

1. Incomplete treatment: If the cervical erosion is mild or the inflammation is shallow, local medication is often used for treatment. However, due to the long course of treatment, patients often find it difficult to persist, which affects the efficacy.

2. Repeated cervical damage: If you repeatedly terminate unwanted pregnancies, your cervix will be damaged many times, which is also one of the main reasons for the recurrence of cervical erosion.

3. Severe lesions: The larger the area of ​​cervical erosion, the higher the recurrence rate. Women with severe cervical erosion have a low cure rate and a higher recurrence rate due to incomplete treatment.

4. Abnormal local immunity: The ability of the local immune response of the cervix will increase in direct proportion to the number of partners.

5. Suffering from sexually transmitted diseases: Studies have shown that about 29.31% of patients with cervical erosion are HPV positive. The human papillomavirus (HpV) pathogen can invade cervical epithelial cells, causing cervical inflammation, resulting in long-term cervical erosion.
